Coquitlam backflow test deadline
Within 10 days of the test, as the City's test report form instructs. That is the City of Coquitlam's rule, quoted below from its own test report form. Put in your building and your date, and you get the day it is due.
The rule, in the City of Coquitlam's words
“TEST REPORT MUST BE SUMBITTED NO LATER THAN 10 DAYS FOLLOWING TESTING”
The authority's own test report form — City of Coquitlam Backflow Prevention Assembly Test Report: “TEST REPORT MUST BE SUMBITTED NO LATER THAN 10 DAYS FOLLOWING TESTING” (the misspelling is the City's own). Water Distribution Bylaw 4428 sets no reporting deadline · read 26-Sep-2026
This is the instruction printed on the authority's own form, not a bylaw section. We say which, because a reader weighs them differently.
Worth knowing: The ten days are printed on the City's form; the bylaw sets none, and we have found no fine for a late report.
What happens next
- Check your date above. The answer appears on this page straight away: the day your report is due, or which date we still need.
- If you leave your email (and tick “I would like a quote” if you want a price), a person replies in writing, usually the same day. Nothing is charged and nobody calls.
- A certified tester tests every device on the notice, annually.
- The report reaches the City of Coquitlam inside the window. Reports go to PlumbingPermits@coquitlam.ca. Keep the confirmation, not only your sent copy.
